In these deliberate studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.050 we will be exposing the occult, revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, 4 00:00:17.060 --> 00:00:21.150 rites, eulogies, phrases, and definitions that demon worshippers use. 5 00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:25.510 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 6 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:30.030 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:33.190 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:35.940 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:39.260 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:44.160 Today the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:51.970 Welcome to this very unique class. 12 00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:58.030 In this class we are dealing with your questions, and we are delighted to do that. 13 00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:01.760 I believe that it's possibly the finest of teaching. 14 00:01:01.950 --> 00:01:06.360 has to do with answering the questions of the people that are taking the lessons. 15 00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:10.640 And so we are delighted to take your questions in your mind, in your heart, 16 00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:13.040 and answer them to the best of our abilities. 17 00:01:13.270 --> 00:01:18.240 It's a little unique in this in that we have not read your questions previously to 18 00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:23.460 this moment. You have handed them in, and they have been placed here on the podium, 19 00:01:23.470 --> 00:01:26.980 and I seek to give an inspirational answer, 20 00:01:26.990 --> 00:01:29.440 hoping that they will be sufficient for you. 21 00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:32.570 And if not, Ask it again and tell me to do some research on it, 22 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:33.790 and I'll work on it for you. 23 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.010 Now, it says, what suggestions would you give to those who have to live with or work 24 00:01:40.020 --> 00:01:42.110 with people who are demonic? 25 00:01:42.830 --> 00:01:45.420 You can make life mighty miserable for them, you know, 26 00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:48.500 by just pleading the blood of Jesus every time you pass by. 27 00:01:50.950 --> 00:01:55.160 My mother and another lady many years ago were walking down the street, 28 00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:59.880 and they used to have, I presume they still have, women that says, 29 00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:01.700 cross my palm and I'll tell you a fortune. 30 00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:05.500 And they passed by one of these where there was one of the gypsy girls, 31 00:02:05.510 --> 00:02:09.960 and the lady that was with my mother, they were two girls, both of them, 32 00:02:09.970 --> 00:02:13.040 not married, says, oh, I want to find out who I'm going to marry. 33 00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:16.380 He says, I'm going to go in and have this person tell my fortune. 34 00:02:16.670 --> 00:02:20.840 My mother was a Methodist, and she felt like it was wrong, so she says, oh, 35 00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:23.240 I wouldn't do that. I says, yes, I want to do it. 36 00:02:23.250 --> 00:02:24.980 So they went in together. 37 00:02:24.990 --> 00:02:26.820 My mother didn't want to stand on the street, 38 00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:29.220 so she went just inside the door and sat down. 39 00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:31.970 And she had a kind of a funny feeling in the place. 40 00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:33.970 So she bowed her head and said, Oh, the blood of Jesus. 41 00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:36.010 Oh, the blood of Jesus. You know? 42 00:02:36.780 --> 00:02:42.590 And this gypsy woman took her friend around behind a curtain, 43 00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:44.930 you know, to read her palm. 44 00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:49.010 And about five minutes later, she came around that curtain about 40 miles an hour, 45 00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:51.210 says, You get out of here. You get out of here. 46 00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:52.950 And my mother says, I hadn't done anything. 47 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.890 I've just been sitting right here by the door. 48 00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.690 She says, I can't read her palm with you in here. 49 00:02:57.700 --> 00:03:00.350 She said, you go out and stand on the street so I can read her palm. 50 00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:04.390 And I thought that was very interesting that the devil can't operate very well with 51 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:05.400 us around. 52 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.010 And so if you have to work with one, just make it hard for him. 53 00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:12.550 Just say, I plead the blood of Jesus. 54 00:03:14.250 --> 00:03:19.740 And it's all right to make it hard for them and also to pray for them, 55 00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:22.680 to be delivered and set free. I want to tell you one thing. 56 00:03:22.690 --> 00:03:25.990 They can't hurt you. He that is in us is greater than he that's in them, 57 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.830 and all they do is make a mess of things. 58 00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:34.110 Your second question is, is it possible that demonic forces could overpower an 59 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.450 individual for a short time and then leave? 60 00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:41.190 An example would be a person who is normally a mild -mannered person and may go 61 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:43.830 insane and become a murderer. 62 00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:49.150 Now, demonic forces normally, 63 00:03:49.380 --> 00:03:53.910 and I've been an observer, you know, in a hundred nations of the world, 64 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.430 about 40 years of experience. 65 00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:01.590 They don't normally come strong upon a person in the beginnings. 66 00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:02.740 They begin 67 00:04:03.660 --> 00:04:07.490 easily upon a person and move in slowly. 68 00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:11.090 Now, your observing of that person might be different. 69 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.470 You may not have noticed other things, 70 00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:18.150 and suddenly they had this terrible situation to happen, you know, 71 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.990 with an outburst, and you thought it was the only time it had happened. 72 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.290 That might have been the only time you were aware of it, you see. 73 00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:27.950 The devil normally does not come in like a storm. 74 00:04:28.140 --> 00:04:33.130 He moves in like a lover and helps and helps until he gets control of you, you see. 75 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:37.050 And I have in my book on demon power, 76 00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:42.930 I show there seven different steps that the devil takes in our lives, 77 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:45.190 how he takes us down and down and down. 78 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:47.070 Once he gets you going down his stairs, 79 00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:49.970 he just keeps pushing you step by step on down. 80 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.290 But the first step is just regression, just going backwards. 81 00:04:54.430 --> 00:04:58.580 You know, when you stop going forward, you've got to go somewhere so it's backwards. 82 00:04:58.650 --> 00:05:01.480 So don't ever stop going forward. Don't ever stop learning. 83 00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:04.680 If you're 85 years old, take classes like this. 84 00:05:05.370 --> 00:05:06.700 Teach them to somebody. 85 00:05:07.990 --> 00:05:10.660 Whoever you are, whatever you are, don't ever quit. 86 00:05:10.790 --> 00:05:13.200 Move forward. If you don't, you're backing up. 87 00:05:13.210 --> 00:05:14.940 And I don't want to back up. 88 00:05:14.950 --> 00:05:18.060 I want to go straight forward right through the pearly gates. 89 00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:20.370 And you do too, don't you? 90 00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:25.050 All right. It says, is it possible that a demonic forces could overpower an 91 00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.930 individual for a short time and then leave? 92 00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:28.310 They don't normally leave. 93 00:05:30.070 --> 00:05:33.220 They're not short -time tenants. 94 00:05:35.130 --> 00:05:37.260 They're lifetime tenants when they get in. 95 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.670 An example would be if a person who is normally mild -mannered, 96 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:43.290 that's all you know about it. 97 00:05:43.380 --> 00:05:48.310 Most people have two different situations in their life, you know. 98 00:05:48.380 --> 00:05:52.070 A man can... Looked like real mild -mannered and sweet and kind. 99 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.950 And then he sees a stranger kiss his wife and jumps up and kills him. 100 00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.670 Well, you just thought he was meek and mild. 101 00:05:58.180 --> 00:06:00.670 He saw somebody kiss his wife, he grabbed the shotgun. 102 00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:05.710 Well, you see, we're not too good at knowing what each other would do anyway, 103 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.790 you know. And so it's better to say, 104 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:13.830 and you don't go insane when you kill people, by the way. 105 00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:17.770 You better see this straight. It's a possession. 106 00:06:17.940 --> 00:06:23.890 in our hearts. When we kill without a reason and without a 107 00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:26.530 cause, it's Satan's fully operation. 108 00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:30.070 And if we go exceedingly angry, 109 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:33.530 it is a spirit of anger and hate that comes into us. 110 00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:39.770 And Jesus told us that hatred and murder was equal, that it is the same. 111 00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:45.650 Number three, are deliverances instantaneous or can they be a period of hours, 112 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.610 days, or years? I wouldn't want to put years on the end of it there. 113 00:06:50.380 --> 00:06:55.580 Yes, deliverances can be 114 00:06:55.590 --> 00:06:59.560 not exactly for the moment. 115 00:07:00.450 --> 00:07:05.020 I can say, you be free, and it might be tomorrow morning before you really say, 116 00:07:05.030 --> 00:07:07.280 yes, that's right, I am free. 117 00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:14.740 One of the first officers of this church here was a plumber, 118 00:07:14.830 --> 00:07:17.410 Mr. Hawkins, and he had... 119 00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:22.930 arthritis in his knees and in his ankles and in his wrists. 120 00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:28.770 He spent tens of thousands of dollars all through the great hospitals 121 00:07:28.780 --> 00:07:34.130 clear down into Arkansas for those hot baths and all up through Chicago way and the 122 00:07:34.140 --> 00:07:38.250 great clinics. And he was taking everything that they knew what to do with 123 00:07:38.260 --> 00:07:40.730 arthritis. And his business was plumbing. 124 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:43.670 He had to get down into holes and under houses and places like that. 125 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:48.170 And he came down to the old tabernacle. And I prayed for him. 126 00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:54.620 And as I prayed for him, I smiled and I said, you'll be healed tomorrow morning. 127 00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:56.400 Now, I don't know why I said that. 128 00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:00.500 He went on home, and the next morning his wife got up and was preparing breakfast, 129 00:08:00.510 --> 00:08:02.440 and he was moving just a little slower. 130 00:08:02.820 --> 00:08:08.540 And while she was cooking, she heard popping and went toward the 131 00:08:08.550 --> 00:08:12.680 bedroom, and every joint in his body popped until you could hear it two or three 132 00:08:12.690 --> 00:08:17.650 doors down. And when that popping ceased, The swelling, his knees were, 133 00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:20.650 you know, were like that. That swelling was gone. 134 00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:25.870 And he lived another, you know, 15 or 20 or 25 years or something like that. 135 00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:30.550 And he never had that arthritic situation again. 136 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:35.810 Now, if you ask me why I said the next morning, I couldn't tell you. 137 00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:37.270 It came up out of my spirit. 138 00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:40.770 And if it hadn't have happened, I wouldn't have known what to do. 139 00:08:40.780 --> 00:08:43.370 But it did happen. You know, it happened the next morning. 140 00:08:43.380 --> 00:08:45.940 And it happened before he got up. It happened. 141 00:08:45.950 --> 00:08:47.320 We even wrote a little tract about it. 142 00:08:47.330 --> 00:08:49.820 It was so exciting that he handed it around when he went. 143 00:08:49.830 --> 00:08:52.400 He was a great one for going to conventions all over the country, 144 00:08:52.410 --> 00:08:55.860 and he would hand those around as he went and tell about his healing. 145 00:08:56.070 --> 00:08:59.440 And it was a, you know, a very exciting healing. 146 00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:05.360 But you can be prayed for, and you can witness your healing an hour later or a day 147 00:09:05.370 --> 00:09:09.340 later, but if it went into years, I'm not sure about that. 148 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.030 I'd hate to be healed over a period of years. 149 00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:14.750 I'd say, say, Lord, put some firecrackers onto this thing. 150 00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:15.830 Let's get going. 151 00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:20.390 I'd want to have another prayer and draw it up a little closer. 152 00:09:20.780 --> 00:09:21.780 Now, 153 00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:26.210 question number four, if demons are sexless, 154 00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:31.470 how can they commit the sex acts you described in one of your 155 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.010 lessons? 156 00:09:34.520 --> 00:09:39.630 They can. We have this not from just one or two. 157 00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:45.320 instances, and not in just one or two countries, but in many. 158 00:09:45.550 --> 00:09:50.280 And that I understand that the same evil spirit can appear at one time as a woman 159 00:09:50.290 --> 00:09:52.620 and appear at another time as a man, 160 00:09:52.630 --> 00:09:56.580 taking on a different form of a person. 161 00:09:56.790 --> 00:10:02.700 And there's a spirit world there that we need to know more about 162 00:10:02.710 --> 00:10:06.300 it. All of us need to know more about it. That's where our battleground is. 163 00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:09.640 Our battleground, the Word of God says, is not flesh and blood, 164 00:10:09.650 --> 00:10:12.860 but principalities and powers of darkness is where our battleground is. 165 00:10:12.870 --> 00:10:17.000 And we have to recognize that and realize that still we're fighting in the right 166 00:10:17.010 --> 00:10:20.500 place. And if we are fighting in the right place, 167 00:10:20.510 --> 00:10:23.620 then we'll know where we're winning with God. 168 00:10:25.140 --> 00:10:27.570 As a spirit, they are sexless. 169 00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:29.610 In their demonic relationships, 170 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:35.370 they are capable of possessing a woman or possessing a man. 171 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.230 are permitting themselves to be received as a man or as a woman in 172 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.240 either side. 173 00:10:42.750 --> 00:10:48.400 Number five, are the demons in the world today the same as the fallen angels of Jude 174 00:10:48.410 --> 00:10:52.900 6? If so, what is meant by the phrase reserved in everlasting chains under the 175 00:10:52.910 --> 00:10:54.500 darkness under the judgment of the great day? 176 00:10:54.510 --> 00:10:58.380 I wish I had an hour with that. No, they are not the same. 177 00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:03.760 All of the spirits that fell with Lucifer... 178 00:11:03.770 --> 00:11:06.640 The Bible says a third of the stars of heaven fell. 179 00:11:06.650 --> 00:11:08.860 He brought a third of the angels of heaven with him, 180 00:11:08.870 --> 00:11:10.700 which could be a few hundred million. 181 00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:15.520 Those that are reserved in chains, if you read it very carefully, 182 00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:20.000 were those that sinned in Noah's day. You see, in Noah's day. 183 00:11:20.010 --> 00:11:23.820 And so in Jude and also in Peter, it tells you about it. 184 00:11:23.890 --> 00:11:27.340 And then you have to go back to Noah's day in Genesis 6, 185 00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:32.560 and you find that the sons of God, and it says there, the sons of Elohim. 186 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:36.290 married the daughters of Red Earth. You say, who were they? 187 00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:41.290 Then you have to go to Job 1 and 2, the sons of God that represented Job to God. 188 00:11:41.300 --> 00:11:43.850 Then you have to go to Hebrews to Melchizedek, 189 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:48.370 and you find that the first priesthood in the Bible were these sons of God. 190 00:11:48.380 --> 00:11:51.870 They were the first priesthood. So they were a priesthood. 191 00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:54.770 Melchizedek was without beginning of days or end of life. 192 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.730 Now, and it says that he was a priest after the, 193 00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:01.390 that Jesus was a priest after the order of Melchizedek. 194 00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:07.010 Now, This priesthood intermarried with the children of Adam, 195 00:12:07.020 --> 00:12:10.690 with natural women. And look at the next verse in Genesis 6. 196 00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:16.290 And it says, And they were born into the earth giants and mighty men of renown. 197 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:22.710 Monstrosities. Maybe he had two heads or four arms or six toes and ten foot high. 198 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.310 And monstrosities were born because of this angelic group 199 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.960 that were the priesthood. intermarrying. 200 00:12:30.970 --> 00:12:35.240 And so God put the whole bunch of them in a prison, 201 00:12:35.450 --> 00:12:37.680 the spirits that are in prison. 202 00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:41.460 Now that's where it says Jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison. 203 00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:44.940 That's the group He preached to for the simple reason that there shouldn't be 204 00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:49.860 anything in heaven or earth under the earth that was not redeemed by His blood. 205 00:12:49.870 --> 00:12:53.180 And so these creatures had never been preached to. 206 00:12:53.270 --> 00:12:56.440 They were just like Melchizedek. They were part of his great priesthood. 207 00:12:56.650 --> 00:12:59.400 And only he did not fall in sin, of course. 208 00:12:59.510 --> 00:13:04.660 His ministry concluded at the time of the Aaronic priesthood taking its place. 209 00:13:04.710 --> 00:13:08.320 But those that did sin were placed there, but they had never been preached to. 210 00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:10.200 They had never had anybody to preach to them. 211 00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:15.680 And so Jesus had to go and preach to those spirits that were in prison 212 00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:18.900 so that they could have an opportunity of salvation if they wanted it. 213 00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:22.680 I told you it was too long for a question, that it is a study. 214 00:13:22.790 --> 00:13:26.580 But it's a true study, and it's one of those things that I spent 20 years on. 215 00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:30.920 I've got a few things in my life that hurt me, and I had to find an answer. 216 00:13:30.930 --> 00:13:33.480 I had to know who Melchizedek was. I had to know. 217 00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:37.550 I had to know who the sons of God were in Job chapters 1 and 2. 218 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:40.450 I had to know. I had to know what Genesis was. 219 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.870 I couldn't accept it that this was Esau's people marrying in over into Abel's group 220 00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:50.870 and over into the other side. 221 00:13:51.010 --> 00:13:54.120 I couldn't accept the bad and the good. 222 00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:57.800 Marrying sinners don't create monsters, you know. 223 00:13:58.530 --> 00:14:02.280 It may create some bad family relations, but not monsters. 224 00:14:02.490 --> 00:14:06.060 And so when I came to this, it put the whole Bible together. 225 00:14:06.170 --> 00:14:08.780 Then I knew who Jesus went and preached to. 226 00:14:08.910 --> 00:14:12.860 I knew those that were confined, that they were not the ones that fell with Lucifer. 227 00:14:12.890 --> 00:14:17.520 I knew what the sons of God were doing. They were representing good people to God. 228 00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:20.350 And the devil came along and said, yeah, but you build a fence around him. 229 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.270 And the devil is still the accuser of the brethren unto this day and still does the 230 00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:25.830 same thing that he was doing to Job. 231 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.610 And then I discovered what Genesis chapter 6 was. 232 00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:31.150 And then I knew who helped Noah build the ark. 233 00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:35.490 Those big old giants. Paid him a half a cent a day and said, you rascals, 234 00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:39.310 put it together for me. Not one of them got saved, but they had to put it together. 235 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:44.150 They lifted those big timbers. If you find a giant around, always use him. 236 00:14:45.560 --> 00:14:47.910 Work him to death. Glory be to God. 237 00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:55.220 Your question number six, just don't ask any more like that, please. 238 00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:59.410 They're too involved. 239 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:04.930 In Acts 13 and 11, Paul did not cast the evil spirit 240 00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:08.750 out of Bar -Jesus. Rather, he made the sorcerer go blind. 241 00:15:08.760 --> 00:15:11.490 Why did he not go ahead and deliver the man? 242 00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:14.010 Well, honey, you can't deliver anybody that don't want to be delivered. 243 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.950 Now, every man has a right to go to hell if he wants to. 244 00:15:19.330 --> 00:15:22.020 And everybody has a right to be full of the devil that wants to. 245 00:15:22.640 --> 00:15:26.930 But you can say to him, you are an evil thing, and God is against you, 246 00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:28.410 and you can go blind for a season. 247 00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:31.950 If he had fell on his knees and says, I'm sick and tired of this mess, 248 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.330 I just want to get out of it, I'm so tired of it, 249 00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:38.010 I just want to serve the living God, have mercy and save my soul, O Lord, 250 00:15:38.020 --> 00:15:40.990 and give me my eyesight back. 251 00:15:42.190 --> 00:15:46.550 He'd had it back in less than an hour. But you first got to repent and come to God. 252 00:15:46.560 --> 00:15:49.050 God's not running a charity hospital just for the devil. 253 00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:53.430 And so the man had no... no repentance. 254 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.770 And when he had no repentance, then the only thing he could do was to receive the 255 00:15:56.780 --> 00:16:00.770 curse from God because he was causing people not to serve the living God. 256 00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:06.500 Number seven says, your lesson on reincarnation has made me curious. 257 00:16:06.750 --> 00:16:07.750 Oh, 258 00:16:09.790 --> 00:16:14.940 it's concerning the statement that men are appointed once to die. 259 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.850 How does this relate to these persons who have been raised from the dead and later 260 00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:22.490 die again? 261 00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:28.130 That has no relationship at all of you burying a person and putting him away and him 262 00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:31.010 gone over into the other world. No relationship at all. 263 00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:34.310 From those that have died, if you have studied the subject, 264 00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:39.090 they tell me that their spirits hang around close to the body for some time. 265 00:16:39.780 --> 00:16:45.230 I had five men who died in an airplane accident that were serving me 266 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.630 so faithfully in the television ministry, 267 00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:52.550 and they were the closest men I had in the television ministry. 268 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.090 And I saw those men, five of them, 269 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.460 looking down upon the airplane wreck, some 10 or 15 feet into the air, 270 00:17:02.470 --> 00:17:04.280 looking down on it, shaking their head. 271 00:17:04.530 --> 00:17:08.900 And the Lord spoke to me and said they had no hurt when they went into the next 272 00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:12.480 world, no pain whatsoever when they went into the next world. 273 00:17:12.510 --> 00:17:16.280 And as they were looking down upon it, they weren't really sad. 274 00:17:16.450 --> 00:17:18.920 I heard one of them say, isn't that a mess? 275 00:17:19.190 --> 00:17:21.440 It was just scattered all over a field. 276 00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:25.430 And it was just like Dick Crittenden to say a thing like that. 277 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.990 He says, just isn't that a mess? 278 00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:32.760 And so, now, if they had been raised from the dead, 279 00:17:32.770 --> 00:17:34.860 their spirits were not far away from them, you see. 280 00:17:35.310 --> 00:17:40.760 But when we talk about once to die, that simply means one life. 281 00:17:40.770 --> 00:17:43.700 That's what it means. And there are no two lives. 282 00:17:43.710 --> 00:17:47.720 And that's what God wants us to know. Reincarnation is a lie from the devil. 283 00:17:48.070 --> 00:17:53.220 Nobody has ever gone into the world beyond and come back a rabbit nor a skunk. 284 00:17:53.270 --> 00:17:56.760 And I'm glad for it. And you just better believe it. 285 00:18:03.050 --> 00:18:06.300 But that form of passing and coming right back in a few hours, 286 00:18:06.310 --> 00:18:09.720 I wouldn't consider that as, they don't come back something else. 287 00:18:09.730 --> 00:18:11.940 They come back exactly the same as they were. 288 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.450 Your next question says, and you mentioned that witches often use herbs. 289 00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:19.470 Yeah, they do. All through the primitive world, they do. 290 00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:22.370 Does the Bible say anything about the use of herbs? 291 00:18:24.810 --> 00:18:28.900 Should Christians discontinue using herbal home remedies? 292 00:18:30.390 --> 00:18:31.900 You're wonderful people. 293 00:18:34.490 --> 00:18:38.480 The kind of herbs you use are not used for bowel trouble, I'll tell you right now. 294 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.790 Those witches over there use poisonous herbs 295 00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:49.590 that they can concoct into something that will knock you into the middle of next 296 00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:52.270 week or take your life from you or something. 297 00:18:53.450 --> 00:18:56.060 And they are not something that grandma cooked up. 298 00:18:56.070 --> 00:18:59.680 If you put a little of this in there and a little of that in there and stir it up 299 00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:02.440 and boil it, it's a good salve. 300 00:19:02.450 --> 00:19:04.900 I think your faith in it helps you more than the stuff does. 301 00:19:05.050 --> 00:19:10.160 And normally, it's so stinky that you get healed automatically because you don't 302 00:19:10.170 --> 00:19:11.170 want any more. 303 00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:19.640 Use these home remedies if you wish. I'm sure they don't help you nor hurt you. 304 00:19:22.830 --> 00:19:27.440 The next question is, is alcoholism demonic? 305 00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:30.290 Is it always demonic? 306 00:19:32.790 --> 00:19:35.680 You put the ism on there. 307 00:19:36.510 --> 00:19:40.580 If you said, is drinking of alcohol demonic, you'd have to say no. 308 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.330 But when you say alcoholism, you mean a person that is baptized in it, 309 00:19:47.750 --> 00:19:51.060 and you mean a person that has given themselves completely to it, 310 00:19:51.070 --> 00:19:54.240 and it is their master, then they're possessed, you see. 311 00:19:54.540 --> 00:19:57.170 And they can't break free. They cannot break free. 312 00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:02.010 Now, a person that occasionally takes a drink of alcohol can very likely quit taking 313 00:20:02.020 --> 00:20:05.490 it anytime he wants to, and he can stop taking it. 314 00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:08.570 But if he is what is called an alcoholic, 315 00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:12.770 he has to have it at night, he has to have it in the early morning, 316 00:20:12.780 --> 00:20:15.370 he has to have it at noon, he has to have it in the afternoon, 317 00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:19.310 he has to have it again at night, and he is the servant of that thing. 318 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.930 And you take it from him, and he has what they call delirium tremens. 319 00:20:24.090 --> 00:20:29.120 He just simply goes to pieces and falls to the floor like an animal and not like a 320 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:32.420 man. That's when the devil has power over that person. 321 00:20:32.690 --> 00:20:37.780 And many people have been healed of alcoholism instantly, 322 00:20:37.790 --> 00:20:41.240 just saying, come out of there, you spirit of alcohol. 323 00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:43.260 Now, alcohol is a spirit. 324 00:20:43.350 --> 00:20:48.060 Now, you can take an alcoholic that's a real drunk, you'd call, 325 00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:52.960 put him in jail for 20 years. He doesn't have a single drink. 326 00:20:53.090 --> 00:20:57.420 You let him out. and tell him there's three taverns down the street, 327 00:20:57.510 --> 00:21:00.580 and he won't go to the third one, he'll go to the first one. 328 00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:04.610 Now, he hasn't had it in 20 years, you can't call it physical, you see. 329 00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:09.010 But there's something that grabs him as soon as he has an opportunity to get it, 330 00:21:09.020 --> 00:21:12.630 and the desire is so overwhelming, he can't wait till the second one, 331 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:13.640 he takes the first one. 332 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.430 And so there is something of a spiritual nature related to it, 333 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.890 and I think all of us can observe that, and we can pray for the people, 334 00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:25.290 because as you were maybe watching the Today Show today, 335 00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:29.310 They spoke about doctors and many others in our country today, 336 00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:33.470 professional people, and some have even mentioned high men in politics that were 337 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.390 alcoholics. And that's a dangerous way. 338 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.890 I'd sure hate to be going through an intricate operation of the heart, 339 00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:40.670 and the guy was drunk up on top. 340 00:21:42.050 --> 00:21:47.780 I'd hate to get into an airplane to fly, and the guy at the wheel was drunk. 341 00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:49.630 I'd sure hate to be in that plane. 342 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.730 I'd want to get off of it before it got off the ground. 343 00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:56.430 Now, if that be so, it's also dangerous in the home, driving a car. 344 00:21:56.620 --> 00:22:01.370 Over half the casualties on the highways of America are caused by people that are 345 00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:02.380 intoxicated. 346 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.290 It's a monster. We ought to fight it. Can you say amen? 347 00:22:07.300 --> 00:22:10.770 Amen. Our friend here says several classes back, 348 00:22:10.780 --> 00:22:15.650 you mentioned that out -of -the -body experiences are not of the Lord. 349 00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:19.910 Out -of -the -body experiences are not of the Lord. 350 00:22:20.410 --> 00:22:24.940 I've heard several Christians tell of leaving their bodies and visiting heaven. 351 00:22:25.390 --> 00:22:28.340 How should... such testimonies be regarded. 352 00:22:28.410 --> 00:22:31.860 I don't know what exactly I've said about out -of -the -body experiences, 353 00:22:31.950 --> 00:22:36.780 but I am sure that some out -of -the -body experiences are of God, 354 00:22:36.790 --> 00:22:40.020 and I would be the last one to say they were not of God. 355 00:22:40.250 --> 00:22:45.360 We're having a man come and speak for us in a couple of months that 356 00:22:45.370 --> 00:22:48.240 was at the point of death. 357 00:22:48.250 --> 00:22:51.300 In fact, they thought he was dead, and he visited the second and the third heaven. 358 00:22:51.330 --> 00:22:53.380 I told you about it in one of the classes here. 359 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:57.690 And we're having some of his books to be in here in the next few days. 360 00:22:57.700 --> 00:23:01.670 And then within the next six weeks, he will be here, and he will be explaining it. 361 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:07.210 And it is the most remarkable testimony of 362 00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:09.330 the demon kingdom I've ever known. 363 00:23:09.340 --> 00:23:14.550 He names all of the different stratagems or stations of 364 00:23:14.560 --> 00:23:19.250 power in that world. And he names them. 365 00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:23.130 And it's something else. And then he shows how people... 366 00:23:24.370 --> 00:23:25.880 how they become possessed. 367 00:23:26.170 --> 00:23:29.080 And he said that the spirit just comes right straight through them, 368 00:23:29.090 --> 00:23:31.560 just goes right straight in, right straight through the flesh and all. 369 00:23:31.810 --> 00:23:34.320 And he saw it. He saw it with his own eyes. 370 00:23:34.350 --> 00:23:35.980 And it is very interesting. 371 00:23:35.990 --> 00:23:38.860 And this is a world that you and I should come to understand more because this is 372 00:23:38.870 --> 00:23:40.700 the world where the battle is going to be. 373 00:23:40.710 --> 00:23:42.160 And if you don't get in that battle, 374 00:23:42.170 --> 00:23:45.300 you're going to be left out of the battle, battle of the last days. 375 00:23:45.530 --> 00:23:50.320 Now, let me say again that out -of -the -body experiences can be spiritual, 376 00:23:50.330 --> 00:23:54.680 and they can be good. And I believe in them. 377 00:23:54.730 --> 00:24:00.380 There are possibly some out -of -the -body experiences that are done by witch 378 00:24:00.390 --> 00:24:03.120 doctors that is of demon origin. 379 00:24:03.130 --> 00:24:06.120 And those are possibly the time I was talking about. 380 00:24:06.250 --> 00:24:09.390 And, of course, they are surely wrong. 381 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:13.710 Your next question says, please give some guidelines to help us know the voice of 382 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.390 God speaking to our spirits. 383 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:17.870 We want to be careful not to listen to a deceiving voice. 384 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.690 I don't think you have to worry about that. 385 00:24:20.570 --> 00:24:23.540 No, I believe... What Jesus said, 386 00:24:23.770 --> 00:24:26.480 that my sheep hear my voice, 387 00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:30.080 and that my sheep know my voice, 388 00:24:30.090 --> 00:24:32.900 and another they will not follow. 389 00:24:32.910 --> 00:24:37.220 So I believe that fear that the devil would like to put into your heart is not 390 00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:39.740 justified, and that we should not be afraid. 391 00:24:39.830 --> 00:24:44.420 I don't ever question when the Lord speaks to me. 392 00:24:44.580 --> 00:24:50.050 I am so sure that it's the Lord until I don't question when the Lord speaks to my 393 00:24:50.060 --> 00:24:51.060 heart. 394 00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:54.810 I don't believe that you have an area of fear here. 395 00:24:54.820 --> 00:24:58.170 If you're walking in the Spirit and you love the Lord with all your heart, 396 00:24:58.180 --> 00:25:01.050 you're going to know when the Lord is talking to you. 397 00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:04.200 How many believe that? Yeah, I believe that. 398 00:25:04.210 --> 00:25:07.900 And I think the devil would like to set up, you know, fear stations in us, 399 00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:10.220 make us afraid to do this and afraid to do that. 400 00:25:10.370 --> 00:25:12.700 And we're not a people of fear. 401 00:25:13.010 --> 00:25:15.080 God has not given us a spirit of fear, 402 00:25:15.290 --> 00:25:18.880 given us a spirit of love and of power and of a sound mind. 403 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.230 And that's mighty good giving, you know. And that's what He's given us. 404 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.990 He has not given us a spirit of fear. So don't be afraid. 405 00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:29.590 All that I asked you to do, I believe at that time, 406 00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:34.290 was if you're going to give something of the future, which is a prophetic film, 407 00:25:34.300 --> 00:25:36.710 I would first write it down. 408 00:25:37.020 --> 00:25:41.250 And if it's something of a close nature, I would let it come to pass first. 409 00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:46.490 And I would get some assurances and some knowledge of the matter and grow in it. 410 00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:50.210 And then you would know for sure. that you were being used in that way. 411 00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:53.010 And I've known of some that prophesied of the future, 412 00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:56.090 and they thought they were sincere about it, but it wasn't true at all. 413 00:25:56.500 --> 00:26:00.270 In fact, I think it would be well, if you feel that spirit of prophecy, 414 00:26:00.280 --> 00:26:04.890 to say it and then write it down and go to one or two very fine ministers and say, 415 00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:09.270 what do you think of this? I think we can check with one another. 416 00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:14.790 And if it be truly of the Lord, if you were to ask a man like Brother Hagin or a 417 00:26:14.800 --> 00:26:19.200 person like myself. or some person that's been involved in the Lord's work, 418 00:26:19.210 --> 00:26:23.980 I'm sure that they would say, yeah, my spirit goes along with that. 419 00:26:23.990 --> 00:26:26.100 Or they'd say, my spirit doesn't agree with that. 420 00:26:26.210 --> 00:26:30.040 And so I think if we let one another help us, you know, 421 00:26:30.050 --> 00:26:33.500 so many times we want to go off on our own, let one another help us, 422 00:26:33.510 --> 00:26:38.220 then we would find the way very beautiful and very good. 423 00:26:38.890 --> 00:26:41.340 I still like for people to help me. 424 00:26:41.670 --> 00:26:43.780 And when I have a feeling from the Lord, 425 00:26:43.790 --> 00:26:46.680 I call together the men of my staff and say, I have a feeling of the Lord. 426 00:26:46.690 --> 00:26:47.840 How do you feel about it? 427 00:26:48.030 --> 00:26:51.840 And their safety, the Bible says, in a multitude of counselors.
